Hello, I want to setup a Orange Pi 5 Plus to use a PCIe GPU to run games with. I can see that the GPU card is detected in lspci, but am not sure how to switch to it. I do have multiple old and new cards I can try if needed. Any advice would be appreciated.

I try to generate a module but I can't find the .ko in the deb package generated. It would be great to describe how to make a patch too. cd ~/crosscompile/ apt-get -y install git git clone https://github.com/igorpecovnik/lib --depth 1 cp lib/compile.sh . cp lib/patch/kernel/sun7i-default/user.patch userpatches/kernel/ Set required modules to "m" in the following config file : cd ~/crosscompile/output/linux-sun8i-default.config ./compile.sh In this script kernel configure = "no" (in order to not erase config file) cd ~/crosscompile/output/debs/ ar vx linux-image-sun8i_5.27_armhf.deb tar -tzvf data.tar.xz …

The armbian I am running Welcome to ARMBIAN 5.31 stable Debian GNU/Linux 8 (jessie) 4.11.5-sun8i and few other versions that I tried have same issue with accessing GPIO from python as non root, and I, of course, need to access GPIO as non root however I setup permissions for /dev and /sys and whatever udev rules I configure there is some race condition and I can't get access to GPIO as a non root from python typical error is something like: :IOError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/sys/class/gpio/gpio1/direction' So I solved it by some hack of the OPi.GPIO library and udev rules that are not really feasible "always" so I'm tryin…

I have a Digital Signage Kiosk with Android 7.1.2. It somehow got stuck on boot screen the second day I recieved it. I can put it in recovery mode but there are no power or volume buttons to do the factory reset.

This message is on-topic, but for an unknown reason, it is not possible for me to create a message in Help wanted. So I post here. I have used Armbian for two years, I think, on several devices, and I have given some money to support it. Thanks for the job. I recently upgraded to the last version with Debian 11. Everything fine but one point which is probably not a bug, that's why I don't post in "bugs". I use Unbound which is the heart of my soft. And I use a python script which is loaded by Unbound. Until now, there was no problem. With the last version, I ran in several read problems. The first reason I found is apparmor, which prevented the script to o…

Hi, I have Armbian 23.05.0-trunk Bullseye with Linux 5.4.239-odroidxu4 on my XU4. I recently bought a USB Bluetooth adapter using RTL8761A. But the firmware is not present in rtl_bt. I want the Bluetooth adapter to work for Home Assistant. I am quite new to this stuff, so if you need any additional information i will provide. Thanks in Advance.

Im stubmeld accros armbian while search for a ARM distribution for my RockPi S. I started successful with writing it to a SD Card and run it from there.

Unfortunately I was very hasty and in connection to my goal to copy between sdcards I used Paragon disk manager to shrink my original partition. Like I mentioned... bad move. And now the partition is not bootable. Paragon wrote that I need to "reinit boot loader" , but I can not find any information how to do it. I can not believe it can be complicated... and again I have no idea what to do? Any help.... /R

Hi, After upgrade from xenial to bionic we found a problem with R1 internal WIFI. First connection to any wireless network with nmtui works wihout problem. But after that if we try to switch to another wireless network it fails. It doesn't even reconnect to the first network ever. If we plug in an external usb wifi adapter(which uses a different driver than the internal wifi driver) it works without problem as expected. What do you think ? Have you experienced the same problem ever ? What is wrong with the internal wifi ? It was working good in xenial. I blacklisted the internal driver and using external wifi adapter for now. "wlan0" in the logs …

Hi all, I'm experimenting with OPi Zero 2+ and I would like to flash onboard eMMC with a fresh Armbian (from a clean img, not from running system). What I did is booting from SD, downloading an Armbian img and dd'ing it into emmc device file, being sure it would have been enough since is what we do (I think?) when we write img to SD cards. I found out it won't boot unless I manually flash sunxi-spl.bin at 0x2000. What am I missing? Isn't that supposed to be flashed with image? Is dd a proper method to flash a clean image on mmc from a running system? Thank you

ALL is working, net via RJ45, WiFi on 5Ghz, Audio...(Yeeeees ! ) headphones and audio on HDMI, audio capture on Audacity, Teamviewer (I'm writing this on my PC via Teamviewer) Kudos for all people working on this project !

Hi, I am using 4 x 2.5 inch disks in the standard Helios4 enclosure. Instead of Laser cutting the smaller enclosure I created a simple 3D printable bracket for it which I'd like to share.

Hello, I'm trying to writing a patch for /gpu/drm/panel/panel-simple.c in order to make my 3.5" ampire works with my Olimex's A13 som board. I've correctly set display frequencies and parameters, and the image is displayed correctly... ...except for some random pixel wich sometimes changes color. I dig out with my oscilloscope and find that RGB data changes on clock's rising edge. Display's datasheet request data to be changed on falling edge insted. So, I've tryied to set the property, but nothing changed: data still changes on rising edge. Here's the core of my patch: diff --git a/drivers/gpu/drm/panel/p…

This is a really weird struggle: I have 2x cubieboard that are exactly identical (same HW, same board revision) including the LAN chip (realtek RTL8201CP). Both boards work fine with an earlier version of Armbian. I learned that there is an (unsupported) Armbian 21.08.1 Bullseye with Linux 5.15.25-sunxi which I installed on both. Behavior however differs with the LAN (eth0) interface. The one board works straight from install with DHCP (default), the 2nd won't work at all. dmesg | grep eth (partially) outputs: sun7i-dwmac 1c50000.ethernet eth0: no phy at addr -1 sun7i-dwmac 1c50000.ethernet eth0: stmmac_open: Cannot attach to PHY (error: -19) …

My headless Orange Pi Zero Plus was configured to boot from a powered external USB2 drive with 3 partitions, a 48Gb linux partition populated by armbian-config, a 4Gb swap partition and a 800Gb NTFS data partition (shared by Samba). The setup is stable and works beautifully when powered up from the powered off state. The Pi fails to start when I reboot it. I suspect that the USB port or drive or both need some kind of reset when a reboot occurs. Has anybody encountered this problem? Is there a known solution?

Hi, I'm doing some small changes to the nanopi-neo-air dtb. I am working from a decompiled dtb file. I would like to work from original patched Armbian dts files to get a better understanding without ploughing through device tree documentation. Where can I get Armbian patched kernel dts files ?

Hello, i recently recieved my orange pi 4 lts and the idea was to use it a both media server and SmartTV features replacement. Sadly, using browsers to play Kinopoisk (russian streaming service) was a flop, no browser i tried can use or implement Wadevine decently. I tried Vivaldi, Firefox and Chromium/ How do you it with Netflix, if you do it at all. Any advice, what can i do?

Hi guys, "dmesg" command sometimes shows "br0: received packet on eth0 with own address as source address". Can it be some sign of serious problem or should I ignore it?

I am testing Armbian 5.14 Debian Jessie desktop version with xfce4 on Orange Pi 2E I guess it would be useful to add "xfce4-xkb-plugin" because Armbian has non English users and switching the keyboard is not intuitive I was reading the pinned topic but already fixed the options provided by http://forum.armbian.com/index.php/topic/998-xfce-in-spanish-or-any-other-language-different-than-english/ Thanks you!

I'm writing a wiegand protocol handler in a Linux Kernel Module for the NanoPi NEO (AllWinner H3). I have the code working, meaning the interrupt handlers for the D0 and D1 pins do in fact get called when I swipe a prox card. However, I'm missing usually about half or more of the 26 bits. The wiegand protocol is 26 pulses, each pulse 50uS wide, and separated by 2000us, so yeah it has to be fast. I've set the debounce value to zero using gpio_set_debounce(), so it's running as quickly as I can make it without patching Linux source. After doing some reading, I think I need to modify the device tree to make the default polling speed for GPIOA pins faster. Or…

Hey guys, What is in your opinion the best solution to add WIFI/BT capability to a A20 board? Currently I tried to add ESP8266 connected with SDIO. (without much success so far). Then in order to add BT too I am thinking about ESP32 (with ESP-WROOM-32 module). Do you know if there are references of using this ESP32 solution to provide wifi and bt to a allwinner board/armbian ? Also this module have a lot of different interfaces available, which should be prefered? Or alternatively, do you know other armbian supported solution for wifi/bt? Best would be a solution that does not use USB ports as I need them. …

Hi, I'm trying to generate a U-Boot for my OrangePi Plus board (H3). I'm using the Denx 2021.10 release and have tried the standard defconfig for this board and also variations of this config. Starting the kernel is fine but the kernel crashes/hangs when starting if I'm using HYP (nonsec) mode. Starting in sec mode works but this only enables one of the four CPU cores. The kernel crash/hang occurs while executing "udevadm trigger --action=add" but I can't determine exactly what is being enabled when the error occurs. Trying different kernels (including the Armbian 5.10 version) show no difference. The Armbian U-Boot (2021-10 dated August 2…

Hello, I’m running nanopi r4s with armbian 22.02.1 bullseye. After finishing edit /etc/network/interfaces via armbian-config, there was an error while restarting services.

From the posts that I've read i think i have made the terrible mistake of updating the software via command. It was kinda slow so I did reboot command and the board since than won't start. I've bought the uart adapter and the boot process is as follows: https://pastebin.com/Pz1xb5jc Can i get support?

TI SK-AM62A7 is not supported by Armbian, can I use Armbian and create a custom debian based image for TI SK-AM62A7. Support for TI SK-AM62 is there. Kindly guide me on how can I start building my custom image for TI-SK AM62A7.

I have a 5" 800x480 TFP401 display which the current armbian can't drive, and I have no idea how to fix that. My EDID is identical to his. I'm a total armbian noob and half linux noob and have no idea where to start or what all the used terms mean (u-boot, dpms, ...) or they come with random patches or links to github changesets that I have no idea what to begin with. All I know is how to compile Igor's kernel, change existing patches in his repo, and burn it (as image, not u-boot) to an SD card, all because there is a nice tutorial for it. When people start talking about anything else I have no idea what to do with that information. I tried to mod…

Hi Guys, My current system has 128MB of SWAP area for RAM. I think it's located on SD card by default, however I have eMMC (8GB) on board. Is there any way to extend SWAP area to use this 8GB or less of eMMC which can be faster than SD card. Is there any way to extend SWAP area even on SD card on working system?

hey guys how I can fix this error on armbian I just checked StackOverflow and many other sites but still the same any help? Thanks, Best Regards

Hello. I've tried a kernel I build using the tool orange pi provides, that kernel boots with a good HDMI resolution. However, when I use the default kernel that comes with my fresh armbian installation, I can't get the HDMI resolution to 480p. I set the resolution in boot parameters. I'd appreciate any help.

How should I use uart to view the system boot log? The kernel failed to boot and I would like to see the error log.

Hi I am not very experienced with armbian/linux. I have a raspberry pi that is connected to a 4K tv via HDMI. When I turn the tv off and on screen resolution changes to 4K. I need to fix it to 1080p. I searched but couldn't find something I can understand. How can I do this?

Hello. I installed armbian (22.05 jammy) on my banana pi m1 (original model). Since it doesn't come with onboard wifi, I decided to attach wifi dongle which uses RTL8188EUS chip. However, although i see it is recognized as "realtek ~~ RTL8188EUS network adapter" when i type 'lsusb' command, it doesn't show up as 'wlan0' when i enter 'ifconfig -a' command. What can I do to make the module work again?

For my Orange Pi PC, I just switched from the buggy debian-image to Armbian. Armbian works fantastic, but there is one small problem with my ssh reverse tunnel. On the (old) debian system i had my script tunnel.sh: #!/bin/bash /usr/bin/autossh -p2000 -fNC -R 9000:localhost:9091 -R 5057:localhost:4949 -R 8000:localhost:8888 -R 10012:localhost:22 myusername@www.mydomain.com The remote Pi will call my gateway Pi at port 2000. Whenever i call the gateway-ip:9000 i am at port 9091 on my remote pi etc. Worked flawless. After I changed to Armbian, this mini-script for tunnel.sh works, too: #!/bin/bash /usr/bin/autossh -p2000 -fNC -R 10012:localhost:22 myusername@ww…

I have attempted to install OMV on my orange pi various times and i have had the same issue weather with the OMV after installation or with the armbian os before the OMV installation. when you start the system, it just won't get it's Ip automatically, at first i thought my orange pi came with a problem from fabric since I'm new to this but after attempting to put an Ip statically seemingly making it work I noticed that it just would not be set automatically. Now surely you might think it's a problem with my router set up, but this won't happen when I try it out with any other equipment in my house or when i just run regular Linux in my laptop, even when i run the OrangePi…

Hi guys, I've a nanopim4 V2 running Armbian Focal with Linux 5.7.15-rockchip64, on a Kubernetes k3s cluster, and I realise that time to time, the board crashes (or reboot) but I'm unable to find why. I've checked syslog kernel.log under /var/log.hdd without luck. What else should I check? This is the output of armbianmonitor if it's help. http://ix.io/2vgU Many thanks in advanced. Regards

So I have managed to partially pull out one of the usb sockets on my tv box. The little plastic piece that holds the 4 metal pins has come out while I was pulling out a slightly deformed usb cable. The box still worked while it was on. After a reboot it is not coming on. The LEDs and VFD don't come on. It doesn't boot into armbian or android. Is it safe to say that it is dead? I think I am going to have to try and lift those metal pins. Because they are touching the metal usb housing. Perhaps that is causing a short-circuit somewhere. If all else fails I will try to desolder the whole usb slot. Update: I have bent …

Hi everyone, I'm trying to get armbian running on an A20 based board. Been through the wikis (armbian and sunxi-linux) but I get a problem that is hard to figure out (for me).

I am new to Armbian, please bear with me if I am making any wrong steps or assumptions. I installed the armbian bionics for the Asus Tinkerboard. I was expecting the netplan command and the /etc/netplan dir exist, but both are missing. Looks like it's not installed at all. Is there a way to have this working? I am already used to netplan to configure the networks. Thanks - purelight

Hello! For some weeks now my BPM1 behaves a bit strange concerning video output. I used to connect my Banana to my monitor via a HDMI-DVI cable, which worked well for a very long time. Now, when I reboot the system, my monitor says "no signal", when I use that cable, as it does also when I use a pure HDMI-HDMI cable. The only way to make the Banana's video output work, is by using a HDMI-DSUB converter. But here comes the even stranger mystery: after I booted the Banana, using that converter, I can change the cable to whatever I want: HDMI-HDMI or HDMI-DVI, they both suddenly work again! But if I reboot the Banana again, not using the H…

Hi, I searched around for any new info on the 3rd USB port (header pins next to the 40pin header) and couldn't find anything new than the 2016 post that found its existance, the rest I found was acknowledgement that the H3 has 3 real USB ports, I am trying to enable this port since it seems it isn't enabled by default even in the latest Armbian, how exactly can it be enabled, the whole script.bin change from 2016 got me confused, is it the usb3host option in armbian-config? Edit, spoke too soon, even though the info is missing actually, it was the usb3host in armbian-config>system>hardware, I had the pins the wrong way, D+ is on the outside. Also w…

I am thinking about the Over-scan on first boot issue and the problems people are having trying to log in if the login questions are off the screen bottom. I under stand it is caused by not having a lot of development into the screen size adjusting software. It is essential that the lead developers prioritize the main Armbian bugs issues and I do not consider on the fly screen resizing a major issue when a stop gap solution could possibly work. My temporary solution would simply be that all logins scripts be tripled. ie.. Login login login: password password password: Enter New Password Enter New Password Enter New Password: S…

Hello Everyone! What is the kernel config option that I need to set to enable the VPU driver?

I burned a xz compressed image of Armbian Focal onto a good SD card using BalenaEtcher as instructed on the Armbian website. I placed it into my NanoPC T4 - which currently boots from the eMMC, and held the boot button while powering on. It tried to boot - but it kept reporting there was no bootloader file and seemed to be trying to load something from the internet, not the SD card. If I dont press the boot button, it simply ignores the SD card and boots from eMMC. I reburned the SD card several times, and each time it verified fine. Does anyone know what I did wrong?

Hi, I want to make my orange pi 3 lts work in a similar way to the way Wifi manager works on esp8266 projects The idea being that if there is not a valid Wifi connection found then an AP is activated so a user can connect to a captive portal and enter the wifi ssid and password anc click connect. the pi then reboots and tries to connect. if that is successful then it works as normal if it is not then it reactivates the AP. I found various different partial solutions but none of which seem to work well with my setup. this might be either due to the orange pi or Armbian. The most promising i ahve foudn so far is https://github.com/b…

Hello all. I'm obviously a newbie to this all and have a Libre Le Potato I just purchased. Put in Armbian Bullseye and got everything configured so my Python script runs on boot and writes the data it records by sending a byte string through the USB port to a device and records the parsed response. All is well there, but I needed to add an RTC to this and I have many DS3231 boards that I've integrated with Arduino boards recently and they all work well.

Problem is with linux headers. I found out there is some weird "desync" with packages versioning? I downloaded image for 23.5 and repo seems to be on 23.2. Linux kernel on fresh image is 6.1.30 and in repo is 6.1.11. Even armbian-config is installing headers for 6.1.11 and can't compile my stuffs. I just wanted to downgrade kernel to 6.1.11, but i think it …

For any one interested in software defined radio the OrangePi.pc and Armbian 5.05 software is a killer combination. The extra horsepower of the Allwinner H3 quad core and the clean Armbian Linux implementation give you a great platform for Software defined Radio. The $10 low cost RTL2838 dongle has an enormous amount to offer. But plugging it into a big computer laptop is not always practical It is often better to put the RTL2838 dongle as close to the antenna as possible. This could mean a long USB cable and voltage drop issues. So now you can buy a $9.99 Orange Pi.one and use it as a RTL to ethernet/ opt.wifi extender. You "just" Plug the RTL2838…

Hi All, as I just started with armbian on one of my R2s and I would like to share my learnings.... 1. Learning build own Image Why?: One of my requirements is to have DRBD Support which seems not to be part of standard build. At least it was gone with one of the Kernel Updates. So I setup a VM as described here: https://docs.armbian.com/Developer-Guide_Build-Preparation/ to build a Image that supports DRBD. That was really simple. Build took 81min for me... Image Size 864MB Next goals are to bring this image running on the R2 on the eMMC. This worked with armbian-config After moving to eMMC Reboot issue is visible... Adapt hostname, local…

Hi there, I'm trying to make the r1 work as a openflow switch using open vswitch. The most I've achieved is to make it work as a dumb 5 ports switch using this configuration script that I got from the sticky post: #!/bin/bash set -x ip addr flush dev eth0 ip addr flush dev wlan1 ip addr flush dev br0 ip link set eth0 up # No WLAN. Set cpu VLAN interfaces to associate to eth ports. ip link add link eth0 name eth0.101 type vlan id 101 ip link set eth0.101 up ip link add link eth0 name eth0.102 type vlan id 102 ip link set eth0.102 up ip link add link eth0 name eth0.103 type vlan id 103 ip link set eth0.103 up ip link add link eth0 name eth…

I´m new to arm and linux; could you pls tell me how can i disable the login prompt at startup still in the command lines ? Thanks

First time trying Armbian on my N2. I know N2 is very picky with HDMI cables, I tried a bunch of HDMI cables and couldn't make it work thru any my HDMI switches(1080p). I had to connect it directly to the HDMI ports on my TV to get video signal. My Samsung TV is a 65inch 4k capable of handling 1080p resolutions with my other arm64 devices(C4, Rpi4, Rockpro64 and N2+) without any issues. Unfortunately, despite of setting resolution to 1080p60(setenv hdmimode "1080p60hz"), disabling auto detection(setenv display_autodetect "false") and setting HDP=true(setenv disablehpd "true") on boot.ini, it keeps ignoring these settings. Just to make sure, I edited both "boot.ini" under …

Can anyone please share the information about implementing MQTT on Orange Pi Lite ? any guide or link would be helpful

Hi, I recently bought an Odroid HC1 and installed Debian 8 on it. I am being quite happy so far with the installation, however this softy installer is very frustrating. I tried to install Syncthing, which failed to start, then now Webmin, hoping to be of "smaller scale", but no lack. It repeatedly fails to do something, displaying the errors behind the curses window, so I had to stop it with Ctrl-C. Then I got back to the menu and after quit, a cleared screen. Brilliant. Are there logs stored somewhere, at least? I checked /var/log/, but got no further. Or how I am supposed to go through failing installations? Thank you,

Hi, I have followed the insruction to install Home Assistant (Smarthome suite within Docker) as given in https://github.com/armbian/config But after instalation of Home Assistant (Smarthome suite within Docker) How do I start it.

If i can not change the forgotten password, how can I copy over a new debian OS download to a microsd card without the password? I used to use something like "sudo cp name.OS dev/xx/xx". I haven't used debian in almost a year and forgot most commands, at least partially. I always use the command line in a terminal . Thanks!!

Guys, Hope my thread is correct here. i have an Banana Pi M2 Ultra on my shelf and want to start using it. So when i check the Armbian Hompepage for a propper up-to-date Image i just recognize its not anmyore supported. See here: https://www.armbian.com/bananapi-m2u/ But then , when i click on "Download from Archives" i see a lots of images for my hardware. But on the other way its says no more support. Confused now... Are the images in Download from archive all unstable or testing ones? Apprechiate if someone could explain. Thanks!

Hello, I don't find a working way to completly disable the use of IPv6 on armbian. I'm using Armbian_5.69_Orangepipc2_Debian_stretch_next_4.19.13.img, fresh install with etcher/balena.

Hi, I recently upgraded from Armbian 5.38 to 5.70 (using apt-get upgrade). I regularly use /etc/init.d/resize2fs to enlarge the partition for the actual given SD-Card after installing the image.

Hello folks, I have been banging my head on this for a few days now and after many searches what should work it is not working :-( I'm setting up an NTP server on a NanoPi Neo3 board (RK3328) running Armbian and I'm stuck on getting the PPS to work. I have a GPS connected issuing the PPS signal on pin 16 but I don't seem to be able to make it visible to the NanoPi. Here are the usual reports to show what OS I'm running.

Just recently started getting ICE when building large C/C++ code using both GCC and CLANG. I suppose memory is failing in some way related to HW. On x86 Ubuntu I have memtest86+ in GRUB, but how do I test for memory errors on Armbian? I tried memtester and stressapptest but they test only part of memory, and so far don't show any errors, does something similar to memtest86+ exist for ARM?

Hello! Made a kernel update via APT yesterday and now the MOTD is displaying the status warning "No end-user support: built from trunk". The update also broke the scripts used by armbian-config (works after a reinstall though). Is this normal behaviour? I've never seen this MOTD status before. Are unsupported/unstable updates pushed through the stable branch (my sources are configured as "stable main contrib")? Edit: The updated packages were: linux-buster-root-current-odroidxu4:armhf (20.08.1, 20.08.3), linux-image-current-odroidxu4:armhf (20.08.1, 20.08.3), linux-dtb-current-odroidxu4:armhf (20.08.1, 20.08.3), linux-u-boot-odroidxu4-current:…

Hi all, I have found that hw acceleration can be achieved with OpenGL, sunxi Cedrus, using old Xenial on 3.4 kernel. Haven't tested yet using OpenGL, but regarding Cedrus everybody was talking about video decoding and didn't see anyone talking about encoding. Don't want to try on old kernels, therefore I'm not using Xenial. Is there a way to get hw acceleration for video encoding on recent kernels (5.10.y) for Orange pi one?

I have recently managed to get SPI boot to USB SSD working on my Odroid N2+. However, to get there, I had to manually set setenv rootdev "/dev/sda1" in my /boot/boot.cmd With that set, SPI boot works. However, obviously I should not set it manually there, and the setting gets overwritten by armbian-config. My understanding is, that I should let boot.cmd unchanged (rootdev "/dev/mmcblk0p1") and armbianEnv.txt should do its magic, but the rootdev setting in armbianEnv.txt is simply ignored upon SPI boot and it fails to boot, as it tries to load the root fs from SD card... Any pointers, what might go wrong here or …

I recently purchased an Orange Pi 5 Plus and installed Armbian. It shuts down about every ten minutes. Strangely, when it is streaming video over HDMI it does not shutdown. So it can stream movies for up to three hours without shutting down. But if I am not streaming, for example if I am SSH into the device, it will shutdown after about ten minutes and I get booted out. I disabled system suspend in `settings > Power settings` but this did not help. I also just replaced the power supply with a 4 amp power supply (up from 3.5 amp) but this did not help at all. I also looked around 'armbian-config' but I did not notice any settings that could be the issue. …
